RAICES

RAICES is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit agency that promotes justice by providing free and low-cost legal services to underserved immigrant children, families and refugees in Central and South Texas.

RAICES received funding for its first attorney in 1990, and the focus of the agency turned to assisting other vulnerable members of the immigrant community, including as asylum seekers, unaccompanied minors, immigration detainees, and survivors of crime. The agency also assisted low-income immigrants in filing family-based petitions.

In its third decade, RAICES has a dedicated team of attorneys, accredited representatives, and legal assistants, in addition to volunteers, student interns and partnering pro bono attorneys.
